CFOs are expected to drive transformation, lead strategy, and still deliver flawless numbers every month. In this episode of The Diary of a CFO, I sit down with Tom Hood, one of the most influential voices in finance leadership, to unpack what’s really behind the growing pressure on today’s CFOs.

We talk about:

✅ How the CFO role has evolved from finance expert to strategic co-pilot

✅ Why upskilling and reskilling are the new competitive edge

✅ How to balance performance with transformation

✅ The real impact of AI and automation on finance teams

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing 5 jobs at once as a CFO, this episode is for you.
